Summary - CHESTNUT COTTAGES 9 WALLINGFORD ROAD STREATLEY READING RG8 9JQ
3 bed 1 bath House
Village cottage with paddock views, south garden and loft potential.
End-of-terrace mews cottage with paddock views
Set on the edge of Streatley on Thames, this end-of-terrace mews cottage offers classic village living with paddock views and a private south-facing garden. The property is laid out over two floors with two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, sitting/dining room, galley kitchen and a single bathroom — ideal for a family or someone seeking a village base with commuter links to Reading and London.
The house requires updating, which creates clear scope to add value. There is loft conversion potential (subject to planning permission) and a detached garage with parking behind the house. Gas central heating, double glazing (fitted post-2002) and cavity wall insulation are practical positives that reduce immediate major works.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the cottage needs refurbishment throughout and has just one bathroom. The rear plot is small and maintenance will be required to modernise finishes and kitchen/bathroom fittings. Buyers should plan budget and time for renovation and for seeking planning approval if extending into the loft.
This cottage will suit a family looking for village life within easy reach of a mainline station, or an owner-occupier investor happy to renovate to their taste. The location in a conservation area with strong schools and very low local crime underlines long-term desirability.
